Dear PAO,

X and Y had a long-standing animosity. Their neighbors knew about it; X and Y were seen engaging in fistfights on several occasions. A couple of months ago, an altercation between them led to X stabbing Y multiple times, resulting in Y's eventual death. X fled from the scene and has not been seen since then. A complaint was filed against X and a warrant of arrest was issued, with a manhunt organized by our local police. Recently, Z, the brother of X, surrendered X to the police to prevent X from getting hurt due to the manhunt. From what the family of Y has heard, X will be invoking his surrender as a mitigating circumstance. Is this possible?
